Waterway geomorphic principles – the ‘Physical Form Five’
As we’ve transitioned from a narrow focus on ‘channel stability’, waterway managers have had limited guidance on how to work with rivers.
If we want to protect and restore the various ecological, social, cultural and economic values provided by rivers, we need to understand and manage the physical form, processes and landscape interactions that support them.
To enable this, Streamology and it’s think tank (looking at you Ian Rutherfurd and James Grove) have drafted a set of high-level, reasonably simple principles to inform the management of physical form and process – the Physical Form Five.

Urban Streams and Storm Water Control
he last decade has seen a paradigm shift in the way we manage urban stormwater. Opportunities are arising to reduce the impact on receiving streams. A method developed to protect the physical form of streams is being used in the U.S. and is now being applied to streams in the Melbourne region including Merri Creek and around Sunbury.
